that's now how we elect presidents in the united states. we elect them by an electoral college. you have to look swing state by swing state. this election will be fought in a handful of states. that number of states where things are actually still competitive keeps shrinking. so if they're going to be kind of targeting advertising, they're probably going to be targeting a very small number of states and a shrinking number of states. you have to, you know, we'll have looked back on this after the election day and see whether or not that was good strategy. i personally believe that the obama strategy was probably the better one, which is to spend the money up front, kind of outline who the image of mitt romney as you want it to be, also using a lot of what mitt romney has done and has said himself to make that case and once that starts to harden, it's really hard to undo that. and what also is working against mitt romney is that now you have early voting starting in a lot of these crucial states. you can't undo a vote that's already cast. >> let's just talk very quickly, zingers.

there is dysfunction and there will be dysfunction until the election. then we have the lame duck session. the lame duck session and this question of what to do to keep the car from going over the cliff will be answered. if governor romney wins the election, then they will be willing to come to the table to talk about revenues. if the president wins the election, he'll say we're getting rid of tax cuts from wealthy americans. but even though the lame duck session will be the current congress, what they see in november will greatly influence. so the best thing between now and the election is for you to talk about this on your program, hopefully the candidates will talk about it around the country and the american people in their votes on november 6 would make some kind of decision on this. but you mention touchdown didn't come up much in the debate, most candidates won't talk about it much because it requires tough choices. >> even the people who are going to have to fix this. you know, we talk about the senators, a few senators, who are starting to talk
